If I fell for that type of "joke" and someone told me I had to post something silly to my wall because I fell for it, I'd tell them to sod off. To me, it's like someone tricking you into believing something, and as a result you have to go running down the road yelling "I love uniforms!" or some other inane crap. It should be the other way around - the one who tries to trick should be the one to post something embarrassing if it fails to work.
Anyway, it's all extremely juvenile so I don't know why I'm getting so het up about it.

It's just like the bra colour/breast cancer crap, or the "I'm going to Las Vegas for 20 months" stuff. Not even fun, let alone raising awareness. I've had a rant about it already so you can tell how likely it is I'll be posting that crap.

One of my friends has just posted "a mouse ran over my shoe" - is that part of the idiocy? Or am I to assume she's infested and offer to lend her my cat?

Past two days seen the bad side of Facebook/ twitter etc
A relative is currently waiting for mental health "urgent" assessment as totally psychotic. They are posting delusions about being "the light and the way" constantly- at least one every five minutes I do want to punch the people who are liking them |

How are people that stupid to believe that it's not completely fake? If she really was pregnant, it'd be all over the Daily Mail sidebar of shame in 2 mins! |

They are posting delusions about being "the light and the way" constantly- at least one every five minutes I do want to punch the people who are liking them A once family friend whom I have on fb constantly posts how hard it is being a mother and having bipolar and has recently shared nearly everytime that she is on Lithium and how much it sucks. Ok, I deplore the stigma of mental health and people need to have more understanding (I for one, is a sufferer) but I would not go as far as declaring i'm on a type of medication for everyone to see. I don't know it's just something too personal for my liking. They have a supportive network in partner/friends but feel its a bit exhibitionist when they announce it everyday. Very awkward reading it. If I really needed to express myself I would join a dedicated forum or fb group. It is unfortunate that not everyone will get or care about what you're going through. |

Oh forgot to add my other grievance- my local papers fb and Twitter- "did you see the bright light at end of horizon?-share your views". My all time favourite was last year when they tweeted a picture with the heading "schoolboy captures mystery clouds in sky". It was two aeroplane trails parallel to each other that when dispersed merged into one.
I want to scream. |

Oh Shmisk, that sucks. I'm very careful about "liking" certain statuses, people do it very thoughtlessly.

I noticed that a lot of people appear, from what they post, to have a best friends relationship with their siblings. I'm not overly close to my brother, so am I the oddball or are these people just presenting another idealised view of their lives?

Apparently it's a status game where people who post "I've been accepted to go on The Cube" and if people reply they're meant to look silly because it isn't real. I'm guessing that's it?
Also go a 'friend' (well someone from school which I barely knew and I'm now in my 30s) keeps posting self-help and 'inspirational crap'... I really should de-friend a few..I'm never going to see these people again, and I didn't even really know them in the first place. |

Obviously I have no intention of doing so but just wanted to check if it's some virus and gets posted to your wall for you?? Otherwise why on earth would people post this rubbish of their own free will. It's like chain letters, I always delete them despite various "threats" |

I'm sure I posted that one. I had a bad mouse infestation last year, and at least twice a mouse ran straight over my foot. In the end I had to stop fooling round with humane traps and put some poison down. I recently unfriended everyone who, post-Duggan, put stuff like 'all police are murderers'. This included friends of my children, who in their teens thought it was the most exciting thing in the world if my husband took them to Scotland Yard or similar police stuff. |

These add ons to statuses are a bit wearisome like when people keep adding what they're watching or how they're feeling and location tagging every few metres.

Yes, I've had some vague ones on friends' pages. One was "I've got a job in America and will be going soon". I didn't comment or like it because I knew there was no way this was possible for her. I've had a couple of 'mouse ran over my feet' ones too. I don't understand the reasoning behind these things.
